<P>Trying to watch the match and after playing for about 20 seconds the stream freezes and then goes to black screen.

<P>There’s no excuse for any of this garbage that’s being served up by Optus, they’ve had forever to get prepared for this.</P><P>The television rights to the biggest sporting event in the world have been given to a telephony company that provides no television platform and can’t even stream a live event successfully.</P><P>There’s a class action brewing here - not just against&nbsp;the foreign owned company that wrested the bulk of the television rights from SBS and can’t even come close to providing a functioning service, but also against the, quite frankly corrupt, federal government that granted this incompetent mob the rights.</P><P>An absolute disgrace.
